One of the people that Darragh will be training beginning this month is rock legend Rick “Sav” Savage, bassist and vocalist for Def Leppard. With the choice of any trainer in the world, Rick chose the Cover Model Body Training System and Darragh Hayes, as he has seen the results that it can deliver and wants to achieve those same results.

“When you get a client like Rick Savage from Def Leppard to sign up to your training system, it instantly provides a level of credibility that is hard to achieve,” remarked Darragh.

“On a personal level, it is fulfilling a dream of working with a rock star. It is also an affirmation of the hard work that I have put in over the past 12 years and it is a great honour for me to have been chosen by him to train.”

Darragh’s training with Rick will be starting in November 2012 and will take place in Rick’s private gym in Dublin. It is expected that the training will be ongoing, with no end date set and will continue throughout his next tour and beyond. The training will consist of strength and conditioning coaching along with tailored and structured diet planning. It is planned that the training plan will enable Rick to take it on the road with him when he tours next.
